Equipped with Trinocular Tube and Diascopic
Stand ?The SMZ1500 is equipped with condenser lenses
that can be switched for use with high- or low-magnification
objectives. Furthermore, in response to user requests for
high-contrast illumination for transparent specimens, Nikon
developed the Oblique Coherent Contrast (OCC) illumination
system, allowing colorless and transparent specimens to be
observed in high relief.(The digital camera in the photo is sold separately.)
